Ard Skinid from Rhitongue
Painting No. 42
As the tide runs out from the Kyle of Tongue, the sandbanks and channels that adorn the eastern side of Ard Skinid, and which so fascinated me in the painting of this picture, emerge in all their sinuous and dangerous grace. Around here, the sloop “Hazard” ran aground on 25th March, 1746, while pursued by the frigate, “Sheerness”. The Mackays overcame and imprisoned the surviving crew and soldiers, and most of the £20 000 of gold they were carrying was seized and never reached the army of Bonnie Prince Charlie, for whom it had been destined. Perhaps Culloden’s battle, 3 weeks later, would have had a different outcome were it not for these innocent-looking sandbanks below Ard Skinid.
